11 75 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies Organisation ARYZTA AG (the Company ) is domiciled and incorporated in Zurich, Switzerland. The consolidated financial statements consolidate the individual financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ), and show the s interest in associates and joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. The consolidated financial statements and the ARYZTA AG Company financial statements were preliminarily authorised for issue by the directors on 25 September Final approval of these financial statements was granted by the directors on 3 October 2014, subject to approval by the shareholders at the General Meeting on 2 December Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) and the requirements of Swiss law. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the has applied all standards that were required for accounting periods beginning on or before 1 August 2013 and also early adopted the Amendments to IAS 36. The following standards and interpretations, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee, are effective for the first time in the current financial year and have been adopted by the : IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement IAS 27 (Revised) Separate Financial Statements IAS 28 (Revised) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures Amendment to IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets Amendment to IFRS 7 Disclosures offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Amendment to IAS 19 Employee benefits Improvements to IFRSs (2011) While the above standards and interpretations adopted by the modify certain presentation and disclosure requirements, these requirements are not significantly different than information presented as part of the 31 July 2013 year-end financial statements and have no material impact on the consolidated results or financial position of the.

12 76 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) The following new standards and interpretations, issued by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee, have not yet become effective. The has not applied early adoption in relation to them. Standard / Interpretation Effective date Planned implementation by ARYZTA (reporting year to 31 July) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 1 January IFRIC 21 Levies 1 January Amendments to IFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations 1 January Amendment to IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 1 January Amendments to IAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting 1 January Improvements to IFRSs ( ) 1 January The has undertaken an initial assessment of the potential impact of these new standards, amendments and improvements listed above, which become effective during the year ending 31 July Based on this initial assessment, the does not currently believe that the adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations will have a significant impact on the consolidated results or financial position of the. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except that investment properties, derivative financial instruments and certain financial liabilities are stated at fair value through profit or loss. The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in the application of the s accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Further information on areas involving a higher degree of judgement and accounting estimates are set out in note 34. Income statement presentation The Consolidated Income Statement is presented by function of expense. Within this presentation, net acquisition, disposal and restructuring-related costs and fair value adjustments are presented as a separate component of operating profit, due to the relative size or nature of these items. Further details related to these amounts are set out in note 2. Additionally, to enable a more comprehensive understanding of the s financial performance, the Consolidated Income Statement by nature of cost, through operating profit, is set out in note 4.

13 77 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidation of the results, the assets and the liabilities of the parent undertaking, and all of its subsidiaries, together with the s share of the profits / losses of associates and joint ventures. Subsidiary undertakings Subsidiary undertakings are those entities over which the has control. The controls an entity when the is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Where necessary, the accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the. Disposal of subsidiaries When the group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount, plus proceeds received, recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of the retained interest is then utilised as the initial carrying amount for purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. Any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. Associates Associates are all entities over which the has significant influence, but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, with the s investment in associates including goodwill identified on acquisition. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased thereafter to recognise the s share of the associate s profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income after the date of acquisition. The s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, which includes any interests that, in substance, form part of the s net investment, the does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred a legal or constructive obligation to do so.

14 78 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the and its associates are recognised in the s financial statements, only to the extent of the unrelated investor s interests in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced, but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss, where appropriate. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognised in the income statement. The determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to share of profit after tax of associates in the income statement. Joint arrangements The has applied IFRS 11 to all joint arrangements. Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. The has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them all to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased thereafter to recognise the s share of the joint venture s profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income after the date of acquisition. The s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, which includes any interests that, in substance, form part of the s net investment, the does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred a legal or constructive obligation to do so. Unrealised gains on transactions between the and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the s interests in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, accounting policies of associates and joint ventures have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains and income and expenses arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that they do not provide evidence of impairment.

15 79 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Revenue recognition Revenue represents the fair value of the sale of goods and services supplied to third parties, after deducting trade discounts and volume rebates, and is exclusive of value-added tax. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Financing income is recognised on an accruals basis, taking into consideration the sums lent and the actual interest rate applied. Segmental reporting Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports regularly reviewed by the s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CEO) in making strategic decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. As reflected in those reports, the is primarily organised into four operating segments: Food Europe, Food North America, Food Rest of World, (together referred to as the Food ) and Origin, which includes the s separately listed 68.1% subsidiary Origin Enterprises plc ( Origin ). The s principal geographies are Europe, North America and Rest of World. Food Europe has leading market positions in the speciality bakery market in Switzerland, Germany, the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Sweden, Poland and Denmark. In Europe, ARYZTA has a mixture of business-to-business and consumer brands and a diversified customer base within the foodservice, large retail and convenience or independent retail channels. Food North America has leading positions in the speciality bakery market in the United States and Canada. It has a mixture of business-to-business and consumer brands and a diversified customer base within the QSR, large retail and other foodservice channels. Food Rest of World consists of businesses in Australia, Asia, New Zealand and South America, primarily partnering with international QSR and other foodservice customers. Origin is a leading agri-services group focused on integrated agronomy and agri-inputs in the UK, Ireland, Poland and Ukraine. Segment assets and liabilities consist of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets and other assets and liabilities that can be reasonably allocated to the reported segment. Unallocated assets and liabilities principally include current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, together with financial assets and liabilities. Net finance costs and income tax are managed on a centralised basis for the Food and separately for Origin. Therefore, these items are not allocated between operating segments for the purpose of presenting information to the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

16 80 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Employee benefits Pension obligations Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as the related employee service is received. The s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated, separately for each plan, by estimating the amount of future benefit employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The future benefit is discounted to determine the present value of the obligation and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the balance sheet date on high-quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the s obligations. The defined benefit calculations are performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method on an annual basis. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, net of related taxes. Current and past service costs are recognised as employment costs in the income statement. Interest on plan liabilities and expected return on assets are recognised in financing costs / income in the income statement. Share-based compensation As defined in IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, the cost of equity instruments granted is recognised at fair value, with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the equity instrument. The fair value of the equity instruments granted is measured using an approved model, taking into account the terms and conditions under which the equity instruments were granted. The s equitysettled share-based compensation plans are subject to a non-market vesting condition; therefore, the amount recognised is adjusted annually to reflect the current estimate of achieving these conditions and the number of equity instruments expected to eventually vest. Termination benefits The recognises termination benefits when it has a formal plan to terminate the employment of current employees, which has been approved at the appropriate levels of the organisation and when the entity is demonstrably committed to a termination through announcement of the plan to those affected. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Income tax expense Income tax expense on the profit or loss for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, in which case the related tax is also recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, respectively. Current income tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, in the respective countries where the and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.

17 81 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Deferred income tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred income tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. If the deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, does not affect accounting or taxable profit or loss, it is not recognised. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. A deferred income tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be recovered. Deferred income tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Foreign currency Items included in the financial statements of the s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency ). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, the s presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of each respective entity are converted to the relevant functional currency using the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted to the relevant functional currency using the foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising on conversion into the local functional currency are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated to euro at the foreign exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to euro at the average exchange rates for the year, unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation of the net assets of a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income, as a change in the foreign currency translation reserve.

18 82 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Exchange gains or losses on long-term intra-group loans and on foreign currency borrowings used to finance or provide a hedge against equity investments in non-euro denominated operations are included in other comprehensive income, as a change in the foreign currency translation reserve, to the extent that they are neither planned nor expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future, or are expected to provide an effective hedge of the net investment. Any differences that have arisen since transition to IFRS are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and are recycled through the Consolidated Income Statement on the repayment of the intra-group loan, or on disposal of the related business. The principal euro foreign exchange currency rates used by the for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows: Currency Average 2014 Closing 2014 Average 2013 Closing 2013 CHF USD CAD GBP Dividends Dividends are recognised in the period in which they are approved by the Company s shareholders. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditures, including repairs and maintenance costs, are recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Interest on specific and general borrowings used to finance construction costs of property, plant and equipment is capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are expensed. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land and assets under construction, on a straight-line basis, by reference to the following estimated useful lives: Buildings Plant and machinery Motor vehicles 25 to 50 years 3 to 15 years 3 to 7.5 years The residual value of assets, if significant, and the useful life of assets is reassessed annually. An asset s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are recognised on the completion of sale. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds received, net of related selling costs, with the carrying amount of the asset and are included in operating profit.

19 83 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Investment properties Investment property, principally comprised of land and buildings, is held for capital appreciation. Investment property is stated at fair value. The fair value is based on market value, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged in an arm s length transaction. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. When property is transferred to investment property following a change in use, any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the property immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised in equity if it is a gain. Upon disposal of the property, the gain would be transferred to retained earnings. Any loss arising in this manner, unless it represents the reversal of a previously recognised gain, would be recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement. Leased assets Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in interestbearing loans and borrowings. The interest element of the payments is charged to the income statement over the lease period, so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. For disclosure purposes, the fair value of finance leases is based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at appropriate current market rates. Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The cost of each acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, as at the acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Where any part of the consideration for a business combination is contingent, the fair value of that component is determined by discounting the estimated amounts payable to their present value at the acquisition date. The discount is unwound as a finance charge in the Consolidated Income Statement over the life of the obligation. Subsequent changes to the estimated amounts payable for contingent consideration are recognised as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Income Statement.

20 84 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the s previously held interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and included within the consideration, with any gain or loss recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Goodwill is initially recognised at cost, being the difference between the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities assumed. Following initial recognition, goodwill is stated at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. When the initial accounting for a business combination is only provisionally determined at the end of the financial year in which the combination occurs, any adjustments to the provisional values allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities are made within a period of no more than one year from the acquisition date. Acquisition costs arising in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are initially recognised at fair value being their deemed cost as at the date of acquisition. These generally include brand and customer-related intangible assets. Computer software that is not an integral part of an item of computer hardware is also classified as an intangible asset. Where intangible assets are separately acquired, they are capitalised at cost. Cost comprises purchase price and other applicable directly attributable costs. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the ERP and computer-related intangibles include the employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes, is capitalised, if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, the attributable expenditure can be reliably measured, and the has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour or an appropriate proportion of overheads. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost, less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the period of their expected useful lives in equal annual instalments, generally as follows: Customer relationships Brands Computer-related intangibles ERP-related intangibles Patents and other 5 to 25 years 10 to 25 years 3 to 5 years 12 years 3 to 15 years

21 85 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Subsequent to initial recognition, the expected useful lives and related amortisation of finite lived intangible assets are reviewed at least at each financial year-end and if the expected economic benefits of the asset are different from previous estimates, amortisation is adjusted accordingly. Intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses incurred. There are no intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Impairment of non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the s assets, other than inventories (which are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value), deferred tax assets (which are recognised based on recoverability), and those financial instruments carried at fair value, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication of impairment when an event or transaction indicates that there may be, and at least at each reporting date. If any such indication exists, an impairment test is carried out and, if necessary, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset s fair value less costs to sell and an asset s value-in-use. The tests goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use for impairment annually, during the last quarter of the financial year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or its cashgenerating unit, exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement as an expense. Goodwill is allocated to the various cash-generating units for the purposes of impairment testing. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis. An impairment loss for goodwill is not subsequently reversed. An impairment loss for other assets may be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, on a first-in, first-out basis, and net realisable value. Cost includes all expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price of inventory on hand, less all further costs to completion and all costs expected to be incurred in marketing, distribution and selling. Cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and on hand, call deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement.

22 86 Consolidated Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies (continued) Share capital Shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity, net of tax, as a deduction from the proceeds. If any company purchases ARYZTA AG s equity share capital, those shares are accounted for as treasury shares in the consolidated financial statements of the. Consideration paid for treasury shares, including any directly attributable incremental cost, net of tax, is deducted from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company, until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company s shareholders. Financial assets and liabilities Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables (excluding prepayments) are initially measured at fair value and are thereafter measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. A provision for impairment is recognised in administration expenses when there is objective evidence that the will not be able to collect all amounts due, according to the original terms of the receivables. If collection is expected in one year or less they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Where risks associated with trade receivables are transferred out of the under receivables purchase arrangements, such receivables are derecognised from the balance sheet, except to the extent of the s continued involvement or exposure. Short-term bank deposits Short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents, are classified as loans and receivables within current assets and are stated at amortised cost in the balance sheet. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Trade and other payables are classified as current liabilities, if payment is due within one year or less, otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Derivatives Derivatives, including forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps and commodity futures contracts are used to manage the s exposure to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. These derivatives are generally designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to fair value, as of each reporting date, using quoted market values. The gain or loss arising on re-measurement is recognised in the income statement, except where the instrument is a designated hedging instrument.
